Ok. Let's say we have 2 players (A and B).
Player A has a unit with 2 different kinds of models. He has one model with I1, and several with I5.
Player B has a unit with 1 kind of model, all with I3.

Player A assaults. He gets the first attack with his I5 models. Let's say he kills X number of models from player B.
Player B then removes all models that are base-to-base contact with player A's I1 model, as well as all models that are base-to-base with player A's I5 models that are within 2" of player A's I1 model.

The question: Does player A's I1 model still get to attack or not?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929146.page GMT Question about assaulting/removing models IC that has joined the unit and can be called out seperately.

It details this in the rulebook. Anything the I5 guy kills doesn't strike back, it's assumed they are killed before they can strike. Anything with a higher Initiative strikes before those things with lower. If they die before their attacks, too bad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929170.page GMT Question about assaulting/removing models
I'm also wondering this as well because i would like to do just that.

If you removed all the models the I1 guy COULD hit.... does it mean he can't? It's about avoiding attacks from the power fist... is there any way to do it other then being wiped out?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929179.page GMT Question about assaulting/removing models
5th edition fixed this problem. The I1 Guy gets to attack whatever unit he was engaged with at the start of the combat.

Yes, the I1 still gets his attacks as long as he was able to attack at the beginning of the fighting. It's on page 35:

"All engaged models will fight in this turn's Assault phase with their full number of attacks..."

"Working out which models are engaged in combat is done at the start of the fight, and will not change until it's end, but casualties will make it difficult to remember..."

So any model that is engaged at the start of the fight will still be engaged until the end of the fight (and thus fights with its full attacks) regardless of casualty removal. The only thing that can stop you from fighting if you're engaged is if you're killed before your initiative step attacks.

Note that this is a *change* from earlier editions of WH40K where it was possible to escape the power fist attacks by finagling the casualty removal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929195.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929195.page GMT Question about assaulting/removing models http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929202.page GMT Question about assaulting/removing models http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929654.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253792/929654.page GMT
